## Summary

The Department for Education is seeking a delivery partner for the 'DfE Digital Service Transformation Pipeline Delivery Programme', which focuses on the development of digital services as part of the department's digital transformation efforts. This procurement falls under the IT services industry category and has a total contract value of £5,000,000.
